The Soul Of Books

 The Bourne Identity (Jason Bourne #1) By   Robert Ludlum My Rating: 3 Genre: Mystery, Thriller Finished on: Sep 20, 2018 This was probably my first time reading a spy-fiction novel. And I'll be honest, it took me some time to get adjusted to the writing. I watched the movie first and decided to read the book (obviously) to know which one was better. I'm not even sure why they said the movie is "based on" the book. In reality, it's only "Inspired" from it. Apart from the main idea that a man with amnesia is trying to figure out who he really is while there are men who want him dead, the rest of plot was completely different, and needless to say, I like the book one better.

 The Rose of Fire (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books #2.5) by   Carlos Ruiz Zafón My Rating: 4/5 Genre: Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery Finished on: 7th Sep, 2018 A short and a compelling story of how  The Cemetery of Forgotten Books  came into existence. Though it consists of just a few pages but it's worth a read. Quite a bed time story I must say. Undoubtedly, Carlos yet again didn't fail to surprise me with the beautiful narration which will sweep you off your feet and into the land where the story is based upon. And not to forget the moment when the title of this book was illustrated through words.

And if he is, then don't the Sempere Sons and Daughters become sole heirs of  The Cemetery of Forgotten Books  ? Oh and not forgetting the wiser man (whoever he was) w...

 The Prisoner of Heaven (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, #3) By  Carlos Ruiz Zafón ,   Lucia Graves My Rating: 3 Genre: Mystery, Historical Fiction, Fantasy Finished on: Sep 7th, 2018 Okay this book got me in a state of profound confusion. The instances which happened in the previous book were changed a bit in this one, and I'm not sure what really happened? But let's wait, maybe the final book will answer all my questions. Apart from that, the book took abrupt changes but I won't complain since the story was divided into 5 parts for a reason. The introduction of the mysterious person in the beginning (Prisoner Salgado) which led to Fermin's story before he met Daniel. And the story told us how he met David Martin there, and also the reason behind the death of Isabella (Oh, I so cannot wait to read the final book. I want to see the end of Maurico Valls). And the reference of the book The Count of Monte Cristo (Using which they could plan Fermin's escape from the pr...
